Two-thirds of social workers have seen an increase in bureaucracy as a result of personalisation. One in eight respondents to our survey with Unison have seen a reduction in social workers in their teams, while 16% have seen an increase in the number of non-social work qualified staff. Mithran Samuel examines what these changes mean.
